What is stereo?




There are now two system of high fidelity, monophonic (monaural) and stereophonic. Monophonic is a system that starts from one microphone and is fed through a single high fidelity set. Stereophonic is a double system. Two separate microphones are placed at different sides of the orchestra and two different systems are used to keep the two signals or channels separated. Two separate speakers are used, placed on different sides of you room. Stereo is much like 3-D photography, two slightly different sound reach your ears giving you a new dimension in sound.

Yamaha PX-2 and PX-3

Yamaha PX-3
Natural Sound Linear Tracking Turntable
Yamaha technology allows the PX-3 to take full advantage of the linear tracking design to deliver truly natural music reproduction. The Yamaha linear tracking system virtually eliminates tracking error and inside force for greatly reduced distortion, minimum crosstalk, and exceptional stereo imaging. Like the PX-2, the PX-3 also incorporates a straight perfectly symmetrical, optimum mass tonearm and quartz-lock PLL-servodirect drive system. This turntable is a pleasure to operate, as well, thanks to a specially developed Yamaha logic LSI which provides extensive control convenience and flexibility. Operation is fully automatic, with two-speed tonearm positioning and repead capabilities also included.

Yamaha PX-2
Natural Sound Linear Tracking Turntable

The PX-2 employs a highly sophisticated linear tracking mechanism which enablos it to actually achieve the linear tracking ideal: precisely recreating the movement of the head which originally cut the record. Truly accurate, faithful sound reproduction has finally become possible. This mechanism, combined with yamaha's symmetrically balanced, optimum mass, straight tonearm and quartz-lock PLL-servo direct drive system, provides unparalleled turntable performance. Operating convenience is also far above average, with two-speed tonearm positioning, one-touch disc size selection/play initiation, repet function, and IC logic controls.
